.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
masktest
is a utility for detecting differences in behaviour between Samba\*(Aqs own implementation and that of a remote server\&. It will run generate random filenames/masks and check if these match the same files they do on the remote file as they do on the local server\&. It will display any differences it finds\&.
.PP
This utility is used by the Samba team to find differences in behaviour between Samba and Windows servers\&.
